A playful poem riffs on a suitor’s awkward advances at five in the morning. The speaker warns of pratfalls in wet grass and nettles, then weights a flirtatious invitation with a sharp retort if unwanted.
A sharp condemnation of tattling describes it as the meanest vice that corrodes community trust. The piece compares tattlers to a venomous viper, recounting a Rochester bachelor’s gossip about a political letter and a Maine girl’s dramatic confession, concluding with notes on Bank of England bullion.
The recounting witness Quad describes a chaotic court scene where Kennedy strikes Thomas and the trial devolves into a long cross examination. Lawyers wave law books, question ages and residences, and push for damning details while the jury ultimately clears the defendant.

The article lists major postwar bridge construction across the West and Midwest. It notes Missouri bridges from St. Charles to Omaha totaling about 11 million dollars, Ohio bridges near Pittsburg costing 16 million, and Mississippi spans at many cities costing 25 million. An engineer cites 150 million dollars spent on bridges since the war, with western lines praised as unmatched by Saybrook Albany Havre de Grace and Buffalo.
